Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to methods of electroplating bismuth on a substrate. More specifically, the present invention is directed to methods of electroplating bismuth on a substrate where the bismuth electroplating baths are stable, easy to control due to minimal bath components, have a high plating speed and have high current efficiency over the life of the bath.
  • Bismuth metal is highly desirable in many industries because of its anticorrosion and antiseizure properties. Bismuth has good wear and good fatigue resistance. Bismuth also has the unique feature of expanding upon solidification, thus having the desired property of conformability.
  • the properties of bismuth make it highly desirable as a metal for bearings, such as in internal combustion engines both gasoline and diesel. Bearings, such as journal bearings, require good surface properties since they must slide against mating surfaces without causing wear to either the surface and without “seizing", i.e., welding to the mating surface. This property typically requires that the metal or alloy is soft and has a relatively low melting point, or contains a low melting point constituent.
  • the metal or alloy also needs to be capable of carrying the load imposed by the mating surface, which is often cyclic in nature, without break-up or fatigue of the bearing. Sufficient hardness is also an important property, thus a suitable metal or alloy ideally must have a proper balance of all of the foregoing properties.
  • metal overlay layers coating the bearings are subject to peeling off due to fatigue as well as other physical stresses.
  • corrosive organic acids formed in lubricating oil cause corrosion of the overlay layers.
  • Metals or metal alloys which make up the overlay layer on bearings are typically deposited by electrolytic plating, sintering, sputtering, bonding by rolling and casting processes; however, if such processes deposit a porous layer the reliability of the overlay layer becomes compromised and resistance to fatigue and even rate of corrosion may increase.
  • DE102007028211 discloses a method for producing a structurally coated sliding element in which a layer containing silver as a main component, relative to the mass, is deposited electrolytically on a sliding element, and a metal or ceramic layer is subsequently applied.
  • DE10032624 discloses a sliding bearing, which comprises a lining and a bismuth or bismuth-alloy overlay having improved compatibility and fatigue resistance.
  • JP3418773 discloses a substrate plating layer with excellent solder joining strength, solder wettability or the like by successively forming a Bi film and an Sn film as substrate plating films for soldering.
  • the present invention is also directed to a method of electroplating bismuth metal according to claim 1.
  • Preferred features of the invention are set out in the sub-claims.
  • the bismuth electroplating method of the present invention is stable and has a high percent current efficiency.
  • the bismuth electroplating method is easy to control during the electroplating process because they it employs minimal bath additives in contrast to many conventional bismuth electroplating baths.
  • the reduced bath additives provide for a method which is more economical because the quantity of components to be replenished is reduced and the number of parameters to be analyzed during operation is also reduced.
  • the bismuth deposits have matte appearance and have substantially uniform grain structure.
  • the method may be used to electroplate bismuth on substrates where electroplated bismuth is desired.
  • the method may be used in the manufacture of bearings for engines such as gasoline and diesel engines. Typically the method is used to electroplate bismuth metal on overlay layers of bearings.

  • the bismuth metal deposits also have substantially uniform grain size.
  • the bath has a high plating speed and high percent current efficiency.
  • the high percent current efficiency induces high plating speeds and less undesirable side reactions during electroplating.
  • Low current efficiencies typically cause side reactions which result in the decomposition of bath additives by oxidation or reduction, thus the bath may require more replenishment of components to maintain plating.
  • soluble anodes release more metal ions into the bath which may destabilize the bath and make it harder to control.
  • a high percent current efficiency allows for the use of a soluble anode which permits easier control of the plating process than an insoluble anode.
  • Insoluble anodes may cause the breakdown of bath additives, typically at the anode surface, and in the case of bismuth electroplating may oxidize bismuth (III) ions to the undesirable bismuth (V) ions.
  • the additives in the bath are minimal to reduce maintenance and operation cost of electroplating.
  • the bath is free of alloying metals, thus the bath deposits are substantially 100% bismuth metal.
  • the bismuth electroplating baths may be plated at current densities from 0.5 ASD and higher, the preferred current density range for achieving a percent current efficiency of 95% to 100% is 0.5 ASD to 10 ASD.
  • a matte deposit may be achieved at current densities of 0.5 ASD to as high as 25 ASD.
  • the bismuth electroplating baths deposit bismuth metal at current densities of 0.5 ASD to 10 ASD to achieve maximum current efficiency and a matte bismuth deposit. More preferably the current density is 0.5 ASD to 8 ASD.
  • plating temperatures are from room temperature to 60 °C, more typically from 30 °C to 50 °C.
  • %CE is expressed in relation to bath age or Ah/L to show that bath performance remains relatively stable during electroplating. While the bath age at which the %CE is determined may be extended until the end of the bath life, the parameter of bath age is determined between 0 Ah/L and 100 Ah/L. In general these two parameters together measure the overall stability of the electroplating bath. The higher the %CE over a relatively long bath age, the greater that stability of the electroplating bath. In other words, if an electroplating bath maintains a continuously high and constant %CE and deposit properties over a long bath age, it can be concluded that such a bath is highly stable.
  • the relationship between the %CE and the Ah/L provide a measure of how long a bath may operate before replacement by a new makeup.
  • the bismuth electroplating baths have a bath composition which is highly stable under bath operation conditions and maintenance. The average %CE ranges from 90% to 100%, preferably from 95% to 100%.
